Salt systems are rated for the maximum size pool in gallons that they can maintain. This sizing only applies to a pool that is barely used and does not get much debris or sunlight. In all other pools you should go 1.5 times bigger on the salt system than the size of the pool itself. For example a 10,000 gallon pool will require a 15,000 gallon salt system. If the pool is used a lot or it gets plenty of sunlight and debris, or all three you should go twice as big.
